Spyderco Slysz Techno 2 C158TIP2 - CTS-XHP Blade - Titanium Frame Lock Handle

Designed by Polish custom knifemaker Marcin Slysz, the first-generation Techno folding knife packed tremendous strength and utility into an incredibly compact package. The Techno 2  continues this tradition and transcends the original design with even greater functionality and ease of maintenance.

The Techno 2’s stonewash-finished blade is crafted from 3.5mm-thick (0.138 inch) CTS® XHP stainless steel. Its high saber grind maintains a full-thickness spine for strength, while ensuring superior edge geometry for low-friction cutting performance. The refined, near-sheepfoot profile provides enhanced point utility and thoughtful jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp provides an excellent purchase for maximum control during use.

The handle of the Techno 2 is constructed with two solid titanium scales precision machined from 6AL-4V titanium and sporting a handsome stonewashed matte finish. Both feature machined recesses to accept the knife’s deep-pocket wire clip, which is easily reversible to support left or right-side tip-up carry. The reverse-side scale forms the foundation of the knife’s stout Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism, which locks the blade securely open during use, yet can be easily released with one hand. Green-anodized titanium standoffs join the two handle halves to create an open-backed construction style that reduces overall weight and allows easy cleaning and maintenance. For end users who like to accessorize their knives with lanyards or fobs, the Techno 2’s handle also includes a generously sized lanyard hole.

    Excellent knife, just be careful closing it

    Posted by Marc on Dec 18th 2018

    First a fairly obvious precaution: Have your thumb as far into the top of the cutout as possible when you start pressing to close the knife, and be mindful that you're in the blade path. When you're tucked up tight into that cutout, you stand a better chance of having the sharpening choil, and not the blade itself, bounce on your thumbnail. This is my only design grievance with this knife so far. It may not be the safest one-handed closer out there.

    Have to say, the fit and finish is truly excellent all around. The Spydie hole is very smoothly chamfered/rounded, and this knife seems made for thumb flicking. Jimping is smooth but still gives a lot of friction. I'm finding the grip I use most, and seems to come most naturally, is with my index finger laid across the spine in that shallow recess.

    Size is of course small, but that's balanced with the heft from the titanium. I'm personally loving this for all the oddball around the house weekend chore type activities.
